Some testing with /feign

[bonesbro]

Ran a quick set of 50 tests with /feign. Level 25 Monk, using FD Adept 1.(If you haven't tried /feign yet, it reports your feign value and your target's seefeign value, and tells you whether your target thinks you're feigning death or not)average feign 26.57894737median 28stdev 3.83885948fail % 24.00%min 21max 32Two other things I discovered: If your feign is a success, but your feign value is less than their seefeign value, your buffs still get stripped but they will see through your feign and attack. Also, if your feign value and their seefeign value tie the feign is a failure. Higher level mobs have higher seefeign values. I have some notes below on what seefeign values I found on different mobs.<p>Message Edited by bonesbro on <span class=date_text>12-12-2004</span> <span class=time_text>09:26 PM</span>

<DIV>Play Dead (Master) should yield some decent feignvalues.</DIV>

[bonesbro]

Agreed. WTB level 28 and Play Dead (Master 1) <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV><FONT size=3>Rather than <FONT color=#ffff00>Feign Death </FONT>I just use the <FONT color=#ff0000>/kill </FONT></FONT>command<FONT size=3>.  It's exactly like feign death except you get xp debt and have to recover your shard.  But it does work 100% of the time.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV>I am no mathematician or statistician, but If I am reading your data correctly, does it mean that we have around a 80% success rate with Feign Death adept 1 at lvl 25?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[bonesbro]

It would be 80% or so if the mob's seefeign was below your roll.With the numbers tonight, at 25:fail 22 % 28.36%fail 23 % 29.69%fail 24 % 34.55%fail 25 % 38.00%fail 26 % 43.18%fail 27 % 52.78%It looks like a mob's seefeign number is roughly 75-80% of their level.

[bonesbro]

Just hit 28.6. Took another sample of the old FD (adept 1) and the new PD (adept 1):Feign Death (Adept 1) at 28.6:average feign 26.77777778median 27stdev 3.696416111fail % 28.00%min 21max 32Play Dead (Adept 1) at 28.6:average feign 31.02631579median 31stdev 2.552019255fail % 24.00%min 27max 36Only 50 trials ([expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] that 10s reuse timer) so the difference in fail% is not statistically significant. Hopefully PD is capped right now. I also wasn't clever enough to test the app1 before I scriped the adept1.

<DIV>I appreciate the information bonesbro, thanks!</DIV>

[Mamasee]

Bonesbro:This seems to be inline with my experences, thanks for the reserch.

[Dooy]

<DIV>Sorry, but /kill does not work in the game.  Give it a try if you don't believe me.</DIV>

[Wintermoo]

<DIV>dude...he was joking. :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

[Cora]

<DIV>My experience at 34 with PD app3 is fail fail fail 27 fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail 28 fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail 39 fail fail fail fail fail fail fail fail 28.</DIV>

[Dooy]

<DIV>Oh, I know he is joking, unfortuantly it seems every night at least 3-4 people try the joke, which really isnt all that funny, unlike telling someone /q means it mutes the sound.  Now that is funny.</DIV>

[Wintermoo]

<DIV>there is something to be said for /q...takes me back to the early days of EQ1 lol</DIV>
